ACME in NY Times, North American Tour with A Winged Victory for the Sullen
ACME (American Contemporary Music Ensemble) just gave a special concert at Joe’s Pub co-presented by Manhattan New Music Project and Sequenza21 showcasing new compositions by composers from around the world. Steve Smith for the New York Times writes:
More than 200 composers from around the world applied to have works performed by ACME, and nine were picked by a small jury. Two judges, Christian Carey and Hayes Biggs, also provided pieces for the program. The composers selected came from as far afield as California and England. […] the concert offered a personable panoply of individual styles. […] another echo of the Internet’s power to span unbridgeable distances and inspire connections previously unimagined. [New York Times]
Next, ACME is on the road with A Winged Victory for the Sullen (Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie, Dustin O’Halloran) for a North American tour from October 29 through November 15, 2011. The group is performing music from A Winged Victory for the Sullen’s self-titled debut album, which was released on Erased Tapes/Kranky to great critical acclaim on September 14, 2011.
